Manipulation score
CleanCompleted Oct 9, 2026 · 38 reviews flagged
How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.
Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

I bought a beautiful station wagon here last summer. Friendly salesperson, good service. Purchased extended warranty; unfortunately, I had bad luck with a defect in the car, but this was resolved properly by the owner. I would definitely tr...

Great service and easy to arrange. I can't comment on the other reviews, but I was offered a cup of coffee, but it was a bit too hot for that, so they even offered me water! Furthermore, the car was ordered with a delivery package (purely...

We encountered a salesperson who, in my opinion, wasn't very keen on selling us a car, provided little information, and didn't seem to take us too seriously. Also, the concept of having to agree on a price before a test drive can be taken i...

Downright inappropriate sales technique. You have to agree to buy the car if you like the test drive, otherwise you are not allowed to take a test drive. It is a shame that the car is at this dealer. Under different circumstances, I probabl...

Bought a nice Suzuki Swift in July 2017. The seller told me and guaranteed it was a very well-maintained car. (Due to the price and the supposedly well-maintained car, there was no guarantee.) It supposedly belonged to a mechanic's girlfrie...

Dear people, do not buy a car here. Last year I bought a car here with an MOT. Now, a year later, it needed another MOT inspection, and it turns out the catalytic converter is empty. The car failed!!!! Very strange that it passed last year...

It turned out that the car's air conditioning was empty, and the particulate filter and EGR valve were disabled in the computer system.

Yesterday, I received a very nice, neat transporter that the company had found for me. It completely met all my expectations. Thankfully, I was back on the road in no time with the van thanks to the company's very quick response. Excellent service and definitely recommended. Jitze and Friso, than...

We found a black Nissan Qashqai online at Autobedrijf Jitze Bosgra in Gorredijk for an attractive price. A comparable Qashqai in our neighborhood was €2,500 more expensive! Upon arrival, we received a warm welcome and were immediately offered a cup of coffee. That went down well after such a long jo...
